Our humble beginnings began with our founder Cheri Ford. Who, like the Gerbera daisy, is native to South Africa. The Gerbera daisy represents different things to different cultures. Some believe it represents a closeness to nature and a devotion to the sun. Others believe the Gerbera brings comfort to ones sorrows and eases everyday stresses. More generally, Gerberas represent happiness, joy and excitement. To Cheri, the Gerbera daisy represents growth, resilience and the ability to survive even in tough conditions. We at Gerbera Counselling & Mental Wellness hope that these qualities resonate with you and allow us to support you on your journey to mental wellness.
